Governor Strickland toured the Akron Global Business Accelerator recently, as reported by The Beacon Journal (follow the link for the full story).

The Governor visited with several promising entrepreneurs in the accelerator:

• Spine Matrix and its back-pain technology
• InSet Systems LLC, that is weeks away from manufacturing small devices that can quickly find trapped miners
• reXource Thermionics and its waste-heat convertor
• NicheVision Inc. and its object-recognition technology for criminal investigations, and
• Vacuum Electric Switch Co. that repairs and refurbishes highly specialized electric switches.

I guess we know where some of those new jobs are going to come from…
